It is a nonsense topic , where Aadan Jugle a separatist cultural anthropologist wasted a lot of space to vent against his political nemesis.

 

ps. I honestly don't know what happened to the said thread though

non-sense how? Tell us what was innacurate about what he quoted and said about the historical revisionism undertaken in the Siad Barre era. Enlighten us please! Forget this 'seperatist' talk for a moment.

This the account of the incident submitted by Sir G.H.Summer Richard Corfeild right hand man and a witness to the battle of Dulmadoobe.

 

 

“The force marched south-east towards Ber, and, on the road, retreating tribesmen reported that the Dervishes in large numbers, under the command of Ow Yussuf bin Abdulla Hassan, the Mullah's brother, having raided and pillaged in all directions, were withdrawing the looted stock in the direction of Idoweina, thirty miles southeast of Burao, which they had made their rendezvous.the force was halted eleven miles northeast of Idoweina; and here fifteen men of the Constabulary, mounted on ponies, who had been sent on ahead, confirmed the news which had been received on the road. They had exchanged shots with the Dervishes whose strength they estimated at over 2,000 footmen all armed with rifles and 150 horsemen. At 8 p.m. the Constabulary moved slowly on again, and at 9 p.m. they halted for the night within four miles of Idoweina. A zariba was made, and the Constabulary were formed up in column of sections, with the Maxim gun mounted and ready for action on the left front and the camels in the centre. All military precautions were taken to guard against a night attack. From the enemy camp occasional shots were heard throughout the night, and the African sky, radiant with a myriad stars, was also aglow with the reflection of the Dervish camp-fires. The Constabulary were joined by some 300 Dolbahanta who were anxious to recover their lost stock from the Dervishes; and some ammunition from the precious reserve was distributed to them. The immediate object was to prevent the Dervishes from driving off the stock they had looted from the Dolbahanta, and the ultimate object was to restore our damaged prestige. In both these objects we failed lamentably.

For the Dervishes got away with the stock*,Estimated at 5,000-6,000 camels and

20,000-30,000 sheep. The numbers were so large that the Dervishes had to send to

the haroun for assistance to drive in their loot.”

The British Books are not necessary bad to quote when we talk about certain historical events on what happened on what date the brits will not necessary lie about who took part of what raid and what incidents occurred in what year. The brits might just glorify their victories and thats about it. For instance we cannot blindly follow what the likes of Aw jamac Cumar ciise and others wrote to Glorify their clan like national heroes for example Aw jamac states in his book that cali Jamac haabil the poet from berbera was a British agent because he was opposed to the Mullah but at the same time Cali Dhuux adan gorayo another poet from the garaad clan he just says in his book iyo Cali dhuux oo ay wadaadka dariiqada darawiishta isku khilaafsanyihin:D

Lie # 2 the battle of Fardhidin July 1901.

 

Facts:

 

“On getting this news I moved my force from Bohotele via Yaheyl and Weyla Hedd to Firdiddin, and attacked the Mullah at later place. The Mullah's Mijjertein rifelmen were in considerable strength with Lebel and Martini-henry rifles. His force were however scattered, and he himself was driven back into Italian territory.The Mijjertein lost heavily, and also the Mullah's own family. His brother-in-law, Gaibdeed, was killed, as well as two sons-in-law, Haji Sudi's brother and nephews, &c. Sultan Nur's camels and the Mullah's cattle were captured. The pursuit was carried on into the bush in the Haud”.
